March catchup

Henrietta the chicken did indeed get better.

Thats a big thanks to the person who suggested bread soacked in olive oil. She loved it!

We've done lots of planting and the Orchard trees are all in and looking good.

Yesterday was glorious weather for the wylam first school car boot sale. The Orchard had a presence as the pitch fee was paid for by Wylam Nurseries. We managed to make 44.70 by selling items donated from the group. Anything left went off to the local charity shops so we're feeling very happy about that.

edible garden:
rhubarb is looking a bit chewed
courgette has completely gone
salad leaves have sprouted might plant a second wave ready for when i eat this first lot in a few days
chives and mint are doing amazing
Tomato plants are ready to harden off outside
I've planted some strawberries

Things to consider buying:
Watering can
Portable coop so the chickens can help out with weeding (ie get the things so my dad can help build one)
Another courgette plant
Sweetcorn
Sunflower seeds
